This show now broadcasts/streams on CHMR 93.5 FM (with more of a focus on Rock or Blues-Rock music). "St. John's Infirmary" offers a roots-country-blues-soul-soft pop format).

Niagara Rhythm Section's Saturday Night "MUSICAL IMPROV" Series

Celebrating our third year!

This week's featured guest: SAT. MARCH 24TH - JOHNNY MAX

When: every Saturday night 10:00 pm - 12:30 am- no cover

Hey, everyone. This Saturday we welcome back, by popular demand, the legendary, Johnny Max. If you've never seen Johnny, you must come down and check him out. Johnny is a soulful singer whose respect, and passion for all types of music is evident. He is also a brilliant entertainer who has audiences thoroughly enjoying each show. Johnny Max has built up a solid reputation as one of those guys who gives 110% and is one of the most action-packed and satisfying entertainers around. Johnny takes to performing like a fish to water, a perpetual motion machine, galvanizing his spicy blend of Stax/Volt, Atlantic, Funk, and Blues into frenzied heights, often propelling himself into the audience’s eager arms. Not only is he a great singer and story teller, he's hilarious! He calls us the "Stevie MacGee Gees" (as in Grisbrook, Goldberger & Max).
